Hi everyone, new post-er here. Sorry if I missed this elsewhere but Austin asked on the pod recently if people would want to hear other kinds of “Waypoints” or expanded “waypoints” from the team. I’m all for it!

I would love that! The waypoint team has such interesting tastes and I’ve been turned on to a lot of stuff I would probably have missed if not for them. I would really like to see occasional episodes that are entirely waypoints.

the fact of the matter is that games discourse is often pretty circuitous; the same issues often crop up in slightly different forms and, because the podcast necessarily has a fixed crew, variations of the same (valid, worthwhile!) responses are levied by the same people whose values haven’t changed much since the last time they were voiced. That’s totally fine and is just the nature of a podcast by four-ish intelligent, well-read people talking about video games, but I think that breaking it up with different subjects would be really exciting and would give our favorite casters (and their ideas) some room to breathe. I’ve dabbled in weekly podcasting, and I know from my own experience that I sometimes felt like I was kind of saying a variation of what I said last week in response to this week’s big games issue, so that’s where I’m coming from. Anyway, I think this would be great!

When Austin mentioned it on the podcast it seemed to me he was inquiring about if a new, separate podcast should be created. My first reaction was that I don’t have the time for another weekly podcast, but a monthly or sporadically updated one would be fine.
